This book's about a giant whale
His name is Moby Dick
And a madman out for vengeance
God, what a lunatic!
His name is Captain Ahab
You've heard of him, I'm sure
He isn't a real person
He's just a metaphor
He's just a metaphor
The book goes on and on and on
Its pace as slow as snails
I'm not interested in learning how
They used to hunt for whales
Please spare me the details
They say this book's a classic
Some kind of masterpiece
You want to waste your time
Reading Moby Dick?
You'll wish you were deceased
As bad as War and Peace!
